Do you know there is a electronic control module for the power steps ? assist step control module !

Circuit/System Description
The assist step control module (ASC) controls the assist step actuators to extend or retract the assist steps. Each actuator consists of an electric motor and a potentiometer. The module supplies a low reference and 10-volt reference source voltage to the potentiometer. The ASC module monitors the voltage drop across the potentiometer on the position signal circuit. When the actuator shaft rotates, the voltage on the position signal circuit changes. The ASC module supplies the actuator motor with a 12-volt control circuit and a ground control circuit. The ASC module controls the direction of the actuator by changing the polarity of the control circuits.

Do you know how to test electric circuits with a DVOM ?
Circuit/System Testing
ASC Disable Switch Circuit Test
Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the IP multifunction switch.
Test for less than 10 ohms between the listed ground circuit terminal and ground.
• X88/Z88 Terminal 3
• Z75 terminal 1
? If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
Ignition ON, verify the scan tool ASC Disable Switch parameter is Inactive.
? If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 9 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ASC module.
Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 9 and ground. Verify the scan tool ASC Disable Switch parameter is Active.
? If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ASC module.
If all circuits test normal, test or replace the IP multifunction switch.
ASC Actuator Circuit Test
Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate actuator.
Scan tool disconnected, test for less than 20 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal C and ground.
? If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ASC module.
Ignition ON, command the appropriate actuator with a scan tool while using the DMM Min/Max function to capture voltage. Test for greater than 9 volts between the 10-volt reference circuit terminal D and ground.
? If less than the specified range, test the 10-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ASC module.
Command the appropriate actuator with a scan tool while using the DMM Min/Max function to capture voltage. Test for greater than 9 volts between the signal circuit terminal E and ground.
? If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ASC module.
Using a scan tool, command the appropriate actuator both directions while using the DMM Min/Max function to capture voltage. Test for greater than 2 volts between the control circuit terminal A and ground.
? If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ASC module.
Using a scan tool, command the appropriate actuator both directions while using the DMM Min/Max function to capture voltage. Test for greater than 2 volts between the control circuit terminal B and ground.
? If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ASC module.
If all circuits test normal, replace the ASC actuator.

Power window stopped working on my 2004 chevy avalanche

Its going to be

1) Fuse.
2) Switch
3) Motor

If your fuses are OK and your switch connection is home and good, you probably need a new motor.

Chevy Avalanche horn stopped working

you may have bad horn, take a test light and see if power is going to horn when horn is pushed, if theres power going to it then you have a bad horn,if theres no power to it then check the horn relay. but il bet if the fuse is good then the horns are bad.

08 avalanche pass side power door lock not working

if you have any knowledge of automotivce electrical, (and that you need to use a "circuit tester" and not a test light) test for power when someone presses the button. it wouldnt be uncommon for most vehicles for the lock actuator/solenoid/duty actuator to wear out, get weak and fail. this is most probable. given that this is an 08, have you checked withe dealer to see if its still under warranty. if we are only talking a few miles and they wont do anything, look in your owners handbook and get the 1 800 number and get GM's customer service involved. cheers.

It is a real pain. You have to remove the whole front bumper cover. I work for a GM dealer and we hate to change those bulbs. Sorry. Is it not still under warranty? Good Luck.
